quote for the day...11.9.2004

"It is our responsibilities, not ourselves, that we should take seriously." -Peter Ustinov

they want us to believe everything will be alright. the puppet-masters most commonly known as 'senior advisors' put the lies into a context that Bush, and the rest of the hillbilly's, yuppies, and social ingrates could understand. and on November second, he stared directly into those cameras and lied to your face. he said he understood the political segregation that is happening. and the majority spoke. i am appalled at the gullibility of the american people. much like some of my compatriots, i pondered the idea of moving to another country. the problem i found was the fact that finding a country that doesn't hate americans right now comes few and far between.

then i had an epiphany. i'm not sure if it would work, or if it's even practical. and unlike those in the seats of power, i would appreciate any constructive critisism you would like to give. the buck does not stop here. those of you who were determined to be in the minority on last tuesday, hell, even some of you in the majority, need to take a stand. with all of my dissappointment this past week, i made a statement to a couple people:

"they told us to vote so that our voice may be heard. the act of voting takes about five minutes, and about one minute for someone to acually count said votes. so, i belive that my voice had been heard for somewhere between one and six minutes. the republicans won, and the fact that i am not a republican shows that those in power are not making decisions based on my opinions along with the rest of us who don't support republican fascist ideals. thus, my voice will not be heard again for another four years..."

i then went on to rant about how lies and fear have fueled this administration, and that i did not buy into that fear. moms prompted me to write our congressman, to tell him about my feelings toward the government, and to ask him what can be done so that i can get some results. we now have a responsibility to use our right to disagree, protest, and be heard at the highest level of power. i know this will be tough, since it seems that republicans hate to be critisized, but i think it's worth a shot. what's the worst that could happen? they could either do something about it, or they could simply say 'no'. then again, they could always just attack Sweden. not to offend any swedes out there, but with the way things seem to be going, anything could happen.
